TEAM EFA LiNKS

CHARiTY OF THE MONTH PROGRAM

Each month, TEAM EFA designates one animal charity as our Charity of the Month.

All EFA Charities of the Month is the charity of choice of at least one EFA member.

EFA members who choose to donate a portion of their product sales to the EFA Charity of the Month, please tag those listings with our cotm tag.

If after the month is done & your products are still tagged with the cotm tag then those will go to benefit next month's cotm. If you wish to donate a percentage to another charity, including a -previous- cotm, please remove 'cotm' from your tag.

Using these tags helps to identify your pledge and makes it easier for shoppers & Treasury makers to locate your cotm products.

The story of Queenie, a young dalmation mix who was sold by a shelter to a Class B dealer who sold her to be used in heart experiments where she was implanted with a device and forced to run on a treadmill while recovering from surgery before she was killed, has turned the spotlight on these types of cruel experiments. Her veterinary records indicate that she was in constant pain and distress.

Please send a letter to the National Institutes of Health asking that it withdraw millions of dollars of funding from university these types of research projects on dogs.

There used to be more than 30 million wild bison roaming America's grasslands, but decades of unregulated hunting and habitat loss have reduced their population to fewer than 5,000 - mainly in national parks. Unfortunately, bills in Montana would leave bison at risk of harassment, capture and death if they roam outside of their designated land.

Please send a letter to the governor of Montana asking him to ensure wild bison are protected from uncontrolled killing.

In California it is still legal to trap and kill bobcats, and there are no limits on how many can be killed each season. However, Assembly Member Richard Bloom has introduced a bill to ban the commercial trapping and sale of bobcats in California, which will put an end to this cruelty.
